Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / April 2006xenia taking over the world
At least the world they live in. I put in one tiny pulsating xenia 10 months ago and now they're all over the place, even growing on the glass. When I try to pull them out, they turn into a sci-fi substance you'd expect to see inside a monster parading as a human. A bit far fetched, but they are seriously slimy and probably releasing more potential xenia when I pull. Is there any solution or is it best to pull out the rocks and scrub them off. That's quite a few rocks by now. rtk > At least the world they live in.

Where are you located ? I would gladly take some of this coral from you. Other choices would be eBay.com - but with local pickup only, they do not ship well. > Where are you located ?

I'd like to trade it for less aggressive coral. I could ask the local shop, I suppose. rtk > I'm in central Pa. I'd like to trade it for less aggressive > coral. I could ask the local shop, I suppose. I would not say Xenia is aggressive coral... It is fast growing, but it is manageable. Just position Xenia on top of the rockwork. They have tendency to grow up, not down. So if you position them on the top of the "mountain" they should not spread as much. Then, from time to time you could cut the biggest branch, put in the bowl of water with small pebble for a couple of days and it will attach forming a nice selling/trade piece. Just curious, where's central Pa? >> Where are you located ?

I routinely just give South Central Alabama or L.A. as my location on other forums.......and the L A does not stand for Los Angles (sp?) either its Lower Alabama, the redneck riviera ;-) >><>Just curious, where's central Pa? >><> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >><>> >><>> rtk  Signature\\\|/// ( @ @ ) -----------oOOo(_)oOOo--------------- oooO ---------( )----Oooo---------------- \ ( ( ) \_) ) / (_/ The original frugal ponder ! Koi-ahoi mates.... I found a free geography programme that I downloaded a few days ago and I scored around 30% on the American states :) Countries of Africa is another of my downfalls. The programme, called Seterra, is here if anyone is interested http://www.wartoft.nu/software/seterra/ It's quite safe - I frequent a freeware newsgroup. > I have a feeling they are referring to the central portion of > Pennsylvania, just to give others a ball park idea where they are [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >>><>> >>><>> rtk Right next to NEPA (North East PA) Where I'm from...

In fact, it was created by pin pointing the exact center. I'm serious about trading out by wandering Pulsating Xenia. rtk I'm in Lancaster County, PA, and I'd be interested in your xenia. Having said that, I'd need to do some research first. Since I'm typing, I'll look here first. Is this an acceptable "first coral"? What are the lighting/feeding/flow requirements? I've been FO for ten years and am converting to a reef setup currently. OK, I'm off to read about xenia....Thanks. Grant >Centre County in Central Pa.

That's where I got the xenia, at That Pet Place in Lancaster. I've traded a couple huge hunks, but I still have one good sized heavily populated rock plus little sprouts everywhere. I'd like to trade it for another less aggressive coral. rtk I've got some I'd love to trade out too. I'm in the North Bay. (snicker.) 45 minutes N. of San Francisco. -K If you do trade them you can take the loose ones or even the larger ones on the move, you can tell because the side are easy to peel with your finger nail, and rubberband them to a rock frag. I had PomPoms and they were like weeds, but they help support my tank for years with the local retailer. Sigh all but gone after my 1500 mile move....wimper. > If you do trade them you can take the loose ones or even the larger > ones on the move, you can tell because the side are easy to peel with > your finger nail, and rubberband them to a rock frag.

I even have them growing on glass and those are the easiest to peel off. rtk |
